Red Angus Association of America

NATIONAL JUNIOR RED ANGUS ASSOCIATION PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST

The National Junior Red Angus Association (NJRAA) and the American Red Angus (ARA) Magazine have combined to introduce the Photography Contest in 2000.

The purpose of this event is to help junior Red Angus members increase their communication skills through the creative display of a message or feeling through photography.

We are looking for photos of Red Angus cattle and/or breeders, farm, ranch, show, sale scenes or extraordinary shots. Photos will be judged on creativity and composition by an "outside the cattle industry" panel of judges. All entries must contain a minimum of one Red Angus animal.

Winners will be selected in three age divisions: 11 and younger, 12 - 16 and 17 - 21 years of age. All photos will be displayed during the National Red Angus Convention (September) and Convention attendees will have an opportunity to vote for a "People's Choice" photo which will be auctioned at Convention and recognized in the magazine. Winning photos in each age division will be published in the ARA.
